Autuwn Woods Strong on East Coast Swing
Autumn Woods Racing has been tearing up the east coast of the United States the past couple of weeks. The duo of Jeff Dedick and Ricky Brantley took part in two 4-Wheel Jamboree events the past couple of weeks.
July 13-15 brought the pair to Bloomsburg, Pa. Dedick led the
way into the bracket-style showdown as the number one qualifier. Brantley was two
spots behind him in third. Running the small "S"-course with tight turns and heavy
dust cover made the side-by-side racing difficult. Dedick pushed his truck in semi-finals,
but was held off by Sonny Dohrmund and finished fourth.
In his heat race, Brantley went head-to-head with Colin Dorshimer. A mechanical problem pushed him out of the race and he was left finishing third. Last weekend brought the AWR team to Middletown, N.Y. for a NORRA event July 18-19. 16 Pro-Modified and 7 Unlimited trucks found themselves on the muddy track.
Dedick took part in the 5-lap, Pro-Modified race. Dedick, who took a second in his qualifying race, pushed his truck into second but was an able to get around a lapped rider to contend for the lead.
Adam Pautsch also drove an AMSOIL sponsored truck in the Pro-Modified class. Despite finishing second in his heat race, Pautsch was unable to finish the feature due to mechanical issues. Dedick then switched trucks and ran in the Unlimited class. The veteran driver pushed his off-road rig into second, but once again, the slower trucks blocked his path for the win.
Autumn Woods will be back on the road again to Canfield Ohio, Buffalo N.Y. and Essex Junction Vt. in the coming weeks.
Teague Wins Class in Long Beach
AMSOIL off-shore powerboat driver Bob Teague found his first
win of the season at the Pacific Offshore Powerboat Racing Association sanctioned
event, the 96th Annual Long Beach Sea Fest.
Teague, racing in his AMSOIL SuperCat Lite boat, took part in Sunday's "Rum Run", a traditional endurance race in the open ocean. The event covered 78-miles, much of it on the rough waters of the Pacific Ocean. The slower boats are in the first start and the faster boats are in the second start (about five minutes later). Altogether, there were 25 boats racing at the same time. The AMSOIL SuperCat Lite boat was in the second start. Despite waves reaching four feet, the AMSOIL SuperCat Lite was the first boat to the first turn heading out to sea.
"We maintained great speed with perfect navigation for the entire
78 mile course passing all of the competitors except one that is in the senior Extreme
Unlimited Cat Class (CRC)," said Teague. Ultimately, the CRC boat finished the race
in a time of 44:36, and we finished second overall (first in class) just 19 seconds
behind the 2400 plus horsepower CRC boat with an elapsed time of 44:55."
The AMSOIL #77 boat and rig are back on the road, headed for St. Clair, Michigan
this weekend.
AMSOIL Wild Cat Open Championship
Rossville, Ind. -- Sunday's AMSOIL Wild Cat Open Championship proved pivotal in the 2007 WPSA PowerSports ATV Tour as winners returned to victory lane, and the Pro points leads changed hands.
In the end, Chad Wienen won his fourth SuperQuad Pro 450 final,
and Chris Borich earned his fifth QuadTerrain Pro Stock win in six attempts this
season. Meanwhile John Natalie, Jr. took the lead in the SuperQuad Pro 450 championship,
while Jesse West grabbed the top slot in the QuadTerrain Pro Stock points chase.
"I was busted up pretty bad," said Natalie of the injuries he suffered latelast year. "I had a torn sternum, as well as ACL and MCL injuries. We just kept fighting. I rode through the pain, we came back, and now we're in the points lead--which is where we belong. This takes a lot of heart. I don't have time to do anything else. All day long, I just work on bikes and ride. I eat, sleep and breath racing, and now it's starting to pay off."
The AMSOIL Wild Cat Open Championships will be telecast on ESPN2 on Sept. 7 at 3 p.m. EDT. The next race for the PowerSports ATV Tour, the Raceway Park National, is scheduled for Aug. 18-19 at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park in Englishtown, N.J.
